Like this piece, they had a very glassy appearance. They were made of very fine fritware which had been cut away in places to form a pattern that was then filled by the glaze.\r\n\r\nFritware was also known as stone paste or quartz paste. It was developed by Middle Eastern potters as a response to the challenge posed by Chinese porcelain. The main ingredient was fine quartz powder made by grinding sand or pebbles. Small quantities of white clay and a glassy substance known as frit were added. The clay gave plasticity. The frit helped to bind the body after firing.","physicalDescription":"Footed bowl, fritware, the slightly flaring straight-sided bowl is pierced with a broad band of chevron designs, and raised on a waisted stem with spreading foot. The interior is incised and painted in underglaze blue with a central six-point star, surrounded by a shield-shaped band, note how the blue wells in the the incised details, further details and decorative bands are painted in underglaze black, the glaze fills in the pierced openings.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"underglazing","id":"AAT48642"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, pierced, underglaze painted, glazed","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[{"text":"Safavid","id":"AAT21712"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006BB2830","2006BB2831","2014GY2237","2017JW1634"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"137 (VA)","id":"THES49876"},"free":"","case":"31","shelf":"8","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Footed bowl","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Iran","id":"x30220"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1650-1725","earliest":"1650-01-01","latest":"1725-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"20.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"10.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Footed bowl, fritware, the white bod pierced around the rim and painted in underglaze blue and black; Iran, 1650-1725.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Soustiel, Jean. <u>La céramique islamique.
